01.18.2013

Gibson J-45 player Sunny Sweeney is one of the three nominees in The Academy of Country Music Awards’ New Female Vocalist of the Year category.

Voting for the distinguished award will begin on VoteACM.com on Monday, January 21 and remain open through Feb. 4 with the winner of the category continuing on to compete for the title of New Artist of the Year Award at the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards live on April 7, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television Network.

“Getting nominated for ACM New Female Vocalist is maybe the coolest thing to happen to me,” said Sunny. “I've been playing country music in honky-tonks and dive bars for almost a decade, so finally getting this kind of recognition is absolutely HUGE! I started out playing in Texas for beer and cheeseburgers, so this is just so gratifying!”

Sweeney’s made a special video asking for votes, check out "Click In The Box, here.
